Abstract
Introduction: The etiological factor behind degenerative changes in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) is controversial. Tooth attrition, improper occlusal andhabits are possible causative factors. Oral habits are common and generally do not harm the stomatognathic apparatus but, when the activity exceeds the individual’s physiologic tolerance, the system begins to alter. Although psychological factors are an important etiological component in producing and perpetuating TMJ disorders a comprehensive view of the problem can be understood through the concept of multifactorial etiology.
